Namaste, my name is Jayesh. I started my Yoga journey in 1991, due to an illness. I was initially trained by Lilian Biggs a Senior Level Iyengar Yoga teacher. I continued my training in Birmingham with Jayne Orton along with many other Advanced and Senior Level Iyengar Yoga teachers in the UK and India.
Over the many years I continued my training and practice in Iyengar Yoga, covering application of Yoga for therapeutics, sports and pregnancy. I have a particular interest in integrating Yoga Philosophy in my teaching. I have trained on several occasions with the Iyengar family in Pune, India.
I obtained my Introductory Level teaching certificate in 1997, now certified to Senior Intermediate Level 1. I can offer a range of group or private classes tailored to your needs including Restorative, Pranayama and Remedial Yoga.
I have taught regular classes at David Lloyds Leeds for nearly 20 years and conducted International Yoga Day Events since 2015. I have also had the opportunity to teach children of all ages at Grammar School at Leeds and Wigton Moor Primary School.

All teachers of Iyengar Yoga are trained to very high standards and fully insured; this is part of the reason that Iyengar Yoga is one of the most widely-performed methods of yoga worldwide. When you see this Mark it means an Introductory teacher has completed at least three years of regular Iyengar Yoga classes followed by two years’ teacher training, and has successfully passed a rigorous assessment. Intermediate and Senior teachers have been practising and training for many more years and have passed a series of further assessments. All Iyengar Yoga teachers are required to maintain their professional development each year to qualify for continued use of the Mark. The Iyengar Yoga Certification Mark is a guarantee of excellence, clarity and depth of understanding.
